As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

66. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____.

A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves

B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health C. they are travelling fast all the time

D. they are becoming busier with their work

67. According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his ________.

A. not fearing stress B. knowing the art of relaxation

C. high sense of responsibility D. having control over performance

68. Which of the following statements is true?

A. We can find some ways to avoid stress.

B. Stress is always harmful to people.

C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.

D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress.

69. In Paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to_______.

A. "making a choice between 'flight' or 'fight'"

B. "reaction to stress both chemically and physically"

C. "responding to crises quickly"

D. "losing heart at the signs difficulties"

70. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so " refers to ______.

A. "expose ourselves to stress"

B. "find ways to deal with stress"

C. "remove stress from our lives"

D. "established links between diseases and stress"

（2011·安徽卷）E

George Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it. He makes his case in a new book, Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise. Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice):

“We’ve become so accustomed to noise, there’s almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet, you sound like an old man. But it’s never been more important to find continuing quiet. Silence focuses us, improves our health, and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.”

“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds become a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono(和服)brushing against the floor.”

“Deaf people are very attentive(专注的)in almost every aspect of life. If two deaf people are walking together, using sign language, they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other. They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings. Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts(一阵阵)of noise, we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps, of bird songs and ice cracking(开裂声). It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen. ”

72. What does the phrase “to put a sock in it” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. to be quiet B. to be colorful

C. to be full of love D. to be attentive to someone

73. What does Prochnik say about us?

A. We are used to quietness

B. We have to put up with noise

C. We do not think silence to be beneficial

D. We do not believe lasting peace to be available

74. Which of the following is true according to Prochnik?

A. We need more sounds in our lives

B. There is nothing to be learned from the deaf

C. We are not aware how rich the world around us is

D. There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony

75. It can be inferred from the text that .

A. we can benefit a lot from old people

B. it is a good idea to use sign language

C. there is no escape from the world of sound

D. it is possible to find how beautiful things sound

What is the hottest topic at your school recently? In Hangzhou Yongjin Middle School, it’ s money.

The school held an activity called “making money” last weekend. About 200 Junior 1 and Junior 2 students were divided into 30 teams. They went out ___________________________. What did they choose to sell? Some sold newspapers；some chose bottled water；some sold environmentally friendly shopping bags and bamboo baskets.

Hu Qing’ s team decided to sell some useful books in front of the Children Activity Center. They thought parents would like to buy the books for their children. But unfortunately, they met urban management officers. The officers asked them to leave. “We played hide-and-seek with the offices for the whole morning,” said Hu. “Finally we had to give up.”

Wang Bing and her team sold ice cream in a square. They didn’ t meet any officers. But few people were interested in what they were selling. The team then put up a board saying “For Country Kids”. It worked. More people came to their stall（小摊）. A foreigner even gave them 100 Yuan. “He didn’ t want any change. He said he wanted to help the children,” said Wang. “We were touched.” Later that day they gave the 100 Yuan and more to the “Project Hope” office.

Meng Zhaoxiang and his team were luckier. They sold all their cakes in four hours, spending 39.5 Yuan and getting back 80 Yuan. They made 40.5 Yuan. “It was not easy to make the money,” said Meng. “Some people just looked. Others just tasted but didn’ t buy. Now I know how hard it is for our parents to make money we need to lead happy lives. ”
